Max Payne

I'm trying to clear my backlog and one of the games I still had to experience was Max Payne, the cult classic. This can be a very chalenging game at times due to the cheap enemy placement sometimes (they can one shot you if you are not carefull) , spamming F5(quicksave) after every room is your best friend to avoid these frustrations. The noir story and narration are very enjoyable and help a lot for the emersion. The game didn't feel too long or too short. If you are a fan of old school games and or third person shooters, this is a game for you if you can pick it up at a fair price (would not pay more than 5 euros for this one) [h1]Final Verdict: [b]77/100[/b][/h1] [b]Average: 75-84 (75-84%)[/b] Performance or gameplay meets the passing mark but remains average. There are areas that could be improved to enhance the gaming experience.
